3.1 Test before any use that the mask is tight
1. Unpack the parts out from the ‘TikiSTART Starter Pack’ and position the parts on a
table

If any part is not present, contact Tiki Safety AB as to the contact details on page 2.

4. Position a sheet of paper on top of the mask to seal the two (2) holes. Then cover
the hole on the side with your finger, see fig 4.
5. Position the mask to the face of the user and push it tight to the face
6. Try to breathe in, two (2) possibilities occur:
a. The user can
not
breathe in and a vacuum occurs in the enclosed air volume
between the mask and the face of the user.
This is
good
and proves the seal is OK
b. The user can breathe in and a vacuum does
not
occur in the enclosed air
volume between the mask and the face of the user.
This is
not good
and proves the seal is
not
OK
7. In case the situation 6a occurred, take off the mask and remove the paper
8. In case the situation 6b occurred, evaluate what caused that the seal was not tight,
perform the following:
a. Perform the above procedure again
b. Evaluate whether the seal collar of the mask was damaged as the mask was
unpacked
c. Refer to the safety situations under: 1.3 Before use on page 5
d. As the masks come in three (3) sizes: small, medium and large,
perform the same test with a mask of another size
e. If either size of the mask fits the user, or none of the above explains the failed
tests, contact Tiki Safety AB
